My experiences with Dr Charles are always good. I am grateful to have him as my doctor.

David did a great job explaining his thought process with my diagnosis. As a physician-patient it can be hard for the treating physician to balance assuming too much or too little. David hit it just right.

I have mentioned Dr. Charles to several others who have asked about who is my neurologist. He had always been interested in how I am perceiving my care and making sure his job is done well for my benefit.

I refused to see him because he chose to work on his research while I waited in extreme pain. Two weeks later, I had extensive spinal surgery at the Howell Allen clinic under the care of Dr. Aaronson. These kind of doctors are dinosaurs who should not be allowed to practice anymore. There is no room for doctors with god complexes anymore. I come from a family of doctors who always put patients first. I hope he has to sit for thirty minutes for no reason with a ruptured disc in his spine and can see what it feels like to be treated with so little respect.
